LOGINNATHALIE’S POV 🍃-“I’m very pleased with the sample design you did, Miss Davies,” Mrs. Nova complimented me once I presented the layout.“I won’t approve this,” said Mrs. Nova’s business partner in the restaurant, Mr. Zander Calix Watson. “Change all the fonts, the design, the colors — everything, including the logo design.”“Are you sure, Mr. Calix?” Mrs. Nova asked him.“Yes,” Calix said coldly and handed me back my iP*d. “It’s too hard on the eyes, difficult to read , and your photo editing doesn’t create an appealing look.”I took my iP*d, smiled at him and said professionally. “I’ll submit another sample layout tomorrow morning.”After that, I looked toward Mrs. Nova. “Would it be alright if I submitted a revised layout design first, Mrs. Nova?”“I think instead of me, you should send it to Mr. Calix’s email, Miss Davies.” Mrs. Nova suggested.“No problem.”“I cannot consent that,” Calix appealed. “I have traveled from Los Angeles to Florida for the sole purpose of seeing every
NATHALIE’S POV 🍃-‘How sweet? Sitting under the stars and moon?’‘Don’t you dare keep staring at him.’‘Why did you agree to let him kiss and hug you?’‘My love.’I stood up and left the room after reading the unread messages from last night.I stepped onto the balcony, looked at the balconies next to us, then scanned the area down below.“Nathalie?”My phone slipped right out of my hands when Tyler’s voice reached my ears.“Nathalie?” He asked worriedly as he called.He came rushing to my side, asking gently, “Why have you gone so pale?”He stroked my forehead while holding my hand. “Your hand is stiff. Did something happen?”His eyes fell… upon my phone.On instinct, I grabbed my phone fast before his hand could reach it.&
NATHALIE’S POV 🍃-While eating breakfast, I glanced at Tyler’s forehead.He doesn’t have a bump anymore.I didn’t send him home because I thought something else might happen to him.He was acting like he was drunk last night, could barely walk straight.I shifted my eyes to my children. “Baby, little one, are you two alright? Is anything hurting you?”“Nothing, Mommy!” they replied in unison.“By the way, until your car is fixed, I can drive you on your errands and take Brianna to school,” Tyler offered. “Her homeroom teacher and the school guard know me well as one of her legal guardians.”“Don’t say no,” he added before I could swallow the waffles I was eating to say no.After I swallowed, my phone rang where it lay beside my plate.Unknown number. It could be Fiona. But did
NATHALIE’S POV 🍃-“You two look so happy together. If I hadn’t spotted that you aren’t wearing wedding rings, or if I didn’t know the truth… I’d think you were already married.”Attorney Fiona turned to the area by the wall and table, where photos of me and my children were on display, that almost half of the pictures we were with Tyler.“Every photo there captured you all with smiles that reached your eyes, especially the kids.”Attorney Fiona turned her eyes back to Tyler and me.“Merely being a good provider is usually not enough to secure custody. And insofar as being a good provider is concerned, both of you are on equal footing in this respect.“The best interest in this case is the welfare of the children. In this matter, do you recognize what works most strongly in your favor? It is your affection for the ch
NATHALIE’S POV 🍃-Once we got home, I fed my children and let them rest in Brianna’s room.Since it’s Friday, I thought it best to keep Brianna home today. I phoned her homeroom teacher to explain what had happened.And I’m thankful the results of our CT scans were good; we don’t have anything to be concerned about.I left the room and went straight to the living room.I caught Tyler and attorney Fiona talking. She was the one Dashiell recommended helping us with my children’s legal rights.“Sorry for the wait. I waited until my kids fell asleep,” I explained to Fiona as I sat down next to Tyler.“No problem, Miss Davies. I understand. Also, when Dashiell told me that my client would be Mr. Tyler West, I cleared my schedule for the whole day.”I glanced at Tyler.He didn’t mention that he knew attorney Fiona.
NATHALIE’S POV 🍃-I made sure Xander and Brianna were properly buckled in, then I got into the driver’s seat.After I started the engine, I looked at my two kids, especially Brianna.“Baby, how’s school?”“It’s fun, Mommy! We had a lot of time to play.”After getting Brianna’s report card, I found her at the playground.“Sorry, baby, if we have to go home early.”“I’m fine, Mommy. I’ll play with my classmates and friends tomorrow.”It made me smile to see her so happy at school.“Baby, is there something you’re not telling me?” I asked first — about what happened earlier. “Like a secret?”She pouted her lips, crossed her cute arms. “Hmm?” After a moment, she replied, “I don’t remember having a secret from you, Mommy.”
NATHALIE’S POV-“Huh?!” I asked in a high-pitched voice.“I just walked you here to make sure you got here safely. Calix is already inside, so I can leave you without worry.”I frowned. “What does Sir Calix have to do with it?”He shrugged, a smile playing on his lips in response.I put that quest
NATHALIE’S POV-The trip lasted around five minutes. Despite the venue was nearby, Sir Calix drove slowly. The parking lot was open and spacious, with quite a lot of cars already parked.“Are you ready, baby?” I asked while fixing her full bangs.She nodded excitedly.“Less than thirty minutes b
NATHALIE’S POV-It’s almost six in the evening when we finished eating.Since Sir Calix doesn’t know how to clean up the dishes—which I understand, I cleaned up and washed them.He tried to help clean up and wash our dishes, but he broke two glasses right away, so I advised him I would do it alone
NATHALIE’S POV-I felt like I had only fallen asleep for a second. Then I sensed Brianna’s tiny hands on my arm, shaking me awake.I opened my eyes and looked at her with a smile."Good..." I coughed without opening my mouth. I did this for proper speech as my throat felt very dry.“Good morning, ba
